Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1725: Chapter 1132: Agreement/Visiting

Second update posted.

--------------------------

When she got Zhou Mikang’s call and understood what he meant, Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu were both shocked. They never imagined that at a time like this, their grandson (son) would make this kind of request.

"Xiaomi, you’ve always been pretty sensible, how can you bring up something like this? After Beibei and Nannan were born, you only looked at them a few times before leaving. It’s been Chuxia taking care of them all this time. Now, not only is their dad not around, even their mom is going to leave too—isn’t that going too far?"

The more Old Madam Zhou spoke, the angrier she got. "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You haven’t seen them for over a year, I get how you feel, but you also have to think about the kids, think about us elders, right?"

Lin Yanqiu snatched the phone over. "Exactly. You bringing this up right now is really disappointing. Your father‑ and mother‑in‑law might not say anything out loud, but who knows how angry they are inside.

They only have the one daughter, married off to you so young, and she even gave you a pair of big, chubby sons. And now you still dare make this kind of request—don’t you have any shame?!"

Zhou Mikang was covered in metaphorical black lines; clearly his grandma and his mom both thought he couldn’t take it anymore... That little wife of his really was more trouble than anything. For her sake, he couldn’t say this had been her idea, and that was really putting him in a bind!

Still, his grandma and mom were right. His wife married him so young, and then got tied down at home—she really was wronged. So it was only right that he take the blame for her.

Thinking this, he lightly cleared his throat. "Grandma, Mom, I honestly think this is a real opportunity for her. You both know that because of the gap between our families’ backgrounds, my in‑laws have never felt fully at ease. Chuxia has been working twice as hard just to reassure them. So letting Chuxia develop faster is what really matters.

With me by her side, she definitely won’t be in any danger. Besides, with her current level, they wouldn’t send her to the front lines anyway. And she’s the mother of two kids—who would put her on the front line?"

"I can understand what you’re saying, but it doesn’t have to be done this way, does it?" With a sigh, Old Madam Zhou went on, "Chuxia’s grades have always been good, and with Elder Yu and Elder Yuan as her mentors, once she graduates is there any hospital she won’t be able to stay in?

She has the talent, so her prospects won’t be bad. Why must she abandon home and career to run off so far away, making us worry and wronging the children?"

"Exactly, Grandma’s right. Our family has never cared about a daughter‑in‑law’s background. Even if your in‑laws aren’t at ease now, give it time; once they really understand us, they’ll stop feeling so nervous.

Anyway, Grandma and I share the same view—we don’t agree to Chuxia going to where you are. Even though we feel bad for you and hope someone can be there to take care of you, compared to Beibei and Nannan, you’re the one who has to give way."

"You both know how my marriage with Chuxia came about. If she hadn’t been forced, she wouldn’t have married me. Our emotional foundation wasn’t that strong to begin with, and if we stay separated for so many years..."

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Zhou cut her grandson off, furious. "Xia Cai isn’t that kind of person. No matter how long you’re apart, there won’t be a problem with your marriage."

"I’m not saying our marriage will have problems. I mean that it’ll make us grow distant from each other, and..." Zhou Mikang sighed again. "You both know Ye Meiru is here too. Back then Ye Meiru made plenty of trouble for Chuxia, and now that Chuxia knows Meiru is here, how can she feel at ease?

I don’t want any unnecessary suspicion cropping up between us. Sometimes once that kind of rift forms, it might never be erased in a lifetime. I believe Chuxia also hopes she can stay by my side.

It’s not that I won’t listen to you and Grandma, and it’s not that I don’t have concerns. It’s just that, thinking of our lifelong feelings and our lifelong happiness, I feel that sometimes we have to take an appropriate risk."

"And there’s something I haven’t told any of you. There’s this other girl who keeps showing up in front of me. Even if I keep a cold face and don’t look at her, don’t respond to her, she still comes as if nothing’s wrong.

She hasn’t said anything, and she hasn’t done anything over the line. I can’t just randomly kick her out and send her home for no reason. But I also don’t want any misunderstanding getting back to Chuxia’s ears.

There are plenty of people who are just waiting to laugh at my and Chuxia’s marriage—especially after my father acknowledged his ties to the Lin Family of the Capital, the number of people hoping to see us become a joke has only grown. I don’t want to give them what they want!"

Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu looked at each other, then asked, "Xiaomi, are you telling the truth?"

"Grandma, do you think with my personality I’d joke around about something like this?" Pausing, Zhou Mikang added, "I’ve already talked this over with Grandpa and Dad. They have no objections to my decision.

I’m not forcing you and Mom to decide right now. You can think over what I’ve said, mull it over, and I’ll call you again later, okay?"

It was rare for Zhou Mikang to be this democratic, and Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu’s hearts softened. The two, grandmother‑in‑law and daughter‑in‑law, exchanged a glance, each understanding the other’s thoughts.

Since they’d already made up their minds, why keep their grandson (son) worrying over there? He already had more than enough to worry about and take care of! "All right, I agree," Old Madam Zhou said. Lin Yanqiu sighed and added, "I agree too. You talk it over with your in‑laws yourself; I don’t have the face to bring it up with them anyway."

"Didn’t I say? They’ve already agreed." Zhou Mikang gave a helpless laugh. "What were you two even listening to just now?"

"You little punk!" Old Madam Zhou cursed him with a laugh, helpless all over her face. "Looks like he really did forget his mom after getting a wife. They’ve already decided everything over there before coming to us—would it make any difference even if we disagreed?"

"Of course it makes a difference. If you two disagree, we definitely won’t be happy either."

"Oh my, you’re actually saying nice things to us now..." Lin Yanqiu couldn’t help teasing her son. "Xiaomi, tell me the truth—whose idea was it for Chuxia to go over there?"

"Of course it was my idea. Mom, what’s there to question?"

"No, no, nothing, haha..." Lin Yanqiu smiled and turned to Old Madam Zhou. "Mom, anything else?"

"No, that’s it, hang up." With that, the old lady jabbed the end-call button, snorted, "That little punk, I’m going to let him know his mother and grandma are not happy!"

"Right, he does need to be taught a lesson." Lin Yanqiu thought for a moment, then looked at the old lady. "Mom, do you think this was Chuxia’s idea or his?"

"What’s the point of chasing that down?"

"There is a point." Lin Yanqiu looked at her mother-in-law very seriously. "If it’s Chuxia’s idea, then I really have to look at this daughter-in-law with new eyes. Ordinary girls, how many would have that kind of courage and insight?"

"You wouldn’t be mad at her?"

"Of course I wouldn’t."

"She doesn’t come talk to us herself, lets Xiaomi speak for her, and you’re still not mad?"

"What’s there to be mad about? After all, she’s only been married in for a bit over a year. No matter how familiar we’ve become, there’s still a bit of distance. Besides, if it weren’t for Xiaomi, Chuxia would never have made a decision like this. I’m happy about it, I don’t even have time to be anything else—why would I be angry?"

So, when Lin Yanqiu and Old Madam Zhou rushed over from City A, and pulled Chuxia close, fussing over her and giving all kinds of affectionate instructions, Chuxia felt guilty. Her mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law were so good to her, and what she’d done really was a bit out of line!

That settled it. With everything decided, Chuxia could finally go register with an easy mind and wait to set off with everyone ten days later.

The thing was, now that her side was all settled, the one who’d originally been worried she’d drag them down—Zhao Bingbing—got stuck instead. Helplessly, her dad and brother just wouldn’t agree, and her dad even went to the registration office to give them a heads-up: whoever approved his daughter’s registration was making an enemy of him. The reason was simple—his girl’s skills weren’t up to standard; he didn’t want her going to such an important place and messing things up for people.

With the words said that bluntly, who would dare give Zhao Bingbing the green light?

As for whether Zhao Bingbing went or not, Chuxia honestly didn’t care that much. She wasn’t all that close to her anyway, so there wouldn’t be any big sense of loss.

But Zhao Bingbing herself cared a lot. At home she tried every possible method to force her dad and big brother to give in, and in the end, she even pulled the hunger-strike card.

That day, just as Chuxia stepped out of the campus gate, a tall man came up to meet her. "Are you Comrade Lin Chuxia?"

"Hello, yes, I am." After sizing him up, Chuxia immediately guessed who he was. He looked seven or eight tenths like Zhao Bingbing—who else could he be?

"Can we talk for a bit?"

"Sure." Chuxia nodded. "Let’s go to my place and talk."

The man nodded and introduced himself to Chuxia. "My name is Zhao Jian. I’m Zhao Bingbing’s older brother."

"I figured." Chuxia led the way toward home, while behind her, Luo Xiaoqiong, Yun Doudou, Yun Guoguo, and Yang Xiaoli were all curiously eyeing Zhao Jian. Li Xinli and Wu Jingbo were quiet kids; they only sneaked a glance at him before fixing their eyes straight ahead again.

Being stared at by so many girls, Zhao Jian felt awkward as hell; even deciding which foot to step out with first felt wrong. Noticing how stiff he was, Chuxia’s lips couldn’t help but curve up. "Big Brother Zhao, let me introduce everyone. These are my good friends: Luo Xiaoqiong, Yun Doudou, Yun Guoguo, Yang Xiaoli, Li Xinli, and Wu Jingbo."

"Hello." Zhao Jian’s face flushed red as he bobbed his head at everyone in a flustered way, then hurried his pace. He was starting to regret waiting at the campus gate to find her; if he’d known, he would’ve just gone straight to her home—would’ve been much better.

Zhao Jian’s purpose in looking for Chuxia was very clear: he hoped she could help their family talk Zhao Bingbing into giving up her idea. The reason he came to ask Chuxia for help was because Zhao Bingbing kept using Chuxia as an example, complaining that the Zhao family wasn’t democratic, wasn’t open-minded, didn’t understand human feelings... basically, they were bad in every possible way...
